    Story sucked, characters sucked. I actually spent more time finding different ways to kill Abby than actually playing it. I can not give it an extermely low review like a 1-2 since it does get somethings right and it was a bit of fun. But comparing it to the first game it is like Heaven and Earth.

Because I loved the story of the first so much I could not bring myself to find too many good things about the 2nd part. It is just mediocre. We know the "proffessional" critics are payed to give it high scores so just disregard them, truthfully the current user score is the correct one for this game - 4 or 5/10. Mediocre.… Expand

    I bought this digitally from the PlayStation store. Probably get the PS5 with disk so I don't get stuck with a unsellable game with zero replay value again. The Story is poorly done and even if it had been done well would have been nothing you wanted if you liked the first game. There are hours of cut-scenes and half of them I found myself heckling and just wishing they would end. IfI bought this digitally from the PlayStation store.

There are hours of cut-scenes and half of them I found myself heckling and just wishing they would end. If you wanted to play this again skipping all the cut-scenes would be a lot of loading screens. I was looking forward to this game took vacation to play it and they should have done better, twists are fine and all but if you writing is so bad you have to torture the player to pull them off maybe go back to the drawing board. Game play, level design and graphics are topnotch and I've played plenty of games were I didn't care about the story and even though I loved the first games narrative I could have just enjoyed the video game if they did not so force the story on you.… Expand

    Very disappointed in the game tbh, nothing like the first part, it became very delusional as you move on with the story, could have been written much much better.

    Игра очень скучная, откровенно мерзкий сюжет. SJW-повестка стала причиной бредовых идей авторов, я про воюющих беременных женщин с большим животом.

    the game's story is the worst that I've experienced in a very long time but I'm giving it a 4 because of how much of a technical masterpiece and the accessibility options which are amazing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starting off, they got rid of the best character in the first game within the first couple hours. The most interesting and well rounded character... I really didn’t want to play the game after Joel’s death. It sucked me out of the game quick. Then just the repetitive gameplay afterwards and the tiresome story between Ellie and Dina that I did not care one bit about. And the biggest negative was Abby! Why would anyone want to play 10+ hours as her. I rushed through that part because I did not care for her at all. I hated her and hated playing as her. I felt no sympathy whatsoever. And not being able to kill her at the end made this game even worse. The only positives were that the graphics were phenomenal and the stealth gameplay was fun for awhile but that doesn’t make up for a terrible story in a story based game.… Expand

    If this game were from another franchise it would be a solid 9, but this game being a second part of a true videogame masterpiece, it's just a 4. The story and the events doesn't match with the characters we knew and the excellent Gameplay and graphics just don't save a horrible history with characters I couldn't care less.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To all TLOU fans... I feel a type of way about this game... let’s get this out the way. The gameplay, graphics, assassinations, details, AI, are all magnificent. Even for my 1st gen Ps4, man the game looked gorgeous. Now for the cons... I really wanted to love this game.... It’s a love& hate type of relationship... look I don’t care about the LGBTQ+ characters or woman agenda because that’s not the issue here.. the issue here is THE STORY... and how they executed it... they could’ve set it up to be a trilogy.. but what did ND do? They shot my beloved character’s leg off with a shotgun and beat the living snot out of him with a club... only to play as her for 10+ hours when the story climax was at its peak and bam! I’m playing as Abby on day 1? Do I see myself playing this game again? Maybe... I choked up when I heard Joel’s agonizing pain.. Now that I know how the game ends... it’s utter Bs...… Expand

    Although the game play was fun and engaging, the writing and story are sub par. A lot of emotional manipulation is attempted at the player, but it fails in the end, as characters motivations and decisions seem hollow.

    The game repeats the way of playing The first game, it would be a ressue of the first game with a horrible Story, with the exception of the graph the story leaves a feeling of doing everything for nothing, really Weak!

    Never was a big fan of the first game but this one really doesn't do the characters any justice. The gameplay isn't bad but the story is horrible. They should have learned from GOT that subverting expectations isn't always a good thing. Also with the BS copyright strikes to youtube channels like Geeks and Gamers they deserve the criticism

    The graphics and animation are stunning. The gameplay is sick. However, the biggest downers are the narrative and the overall message of the game.

Additionally, I would have loved to play as Ellie the entire time, but instead, I was forced to play as probably the worst "protagonist" in video game history. Oh and one more thing, they even included a repulsive sex scene in the game which was very unnecessary.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off this game is absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay is awesome but when it comes down to what the human spirit longs for that this game painfully lacks, is HOPE. I don’t recognize the characters I once loved from the original masterpiece. Being forced to try and kill one of the main characters that I dearly loved after seeing the other one murdered left me feeling depressed. At the end of this game you are left feeling dark and hopeless, stripped of any joy and love left. The human spirit needs hope especially in a time where the world feels dark and uncertain. I say this with respect to the naughty dog team and appreciate my opinion being heard. I hope we get a better game from this amazing team next time around!… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
